Remington RM2BL 205 MPH at 450 CFM 27cc Gas Powered Leaf Blower & Vacuum, Variable Speed Throttle

Starts easily, runs good, plenty of air flow. Does the job.

Ordered online 11/4/2018 - 10 days later it arrived. That same day I opened the box, filled with gas and tried to start it. The primer bulb would not fill when primed. After 1 hour of trying to get it started, I decided to send it back for replacement. 4 weeks later (having to rake while waiting) the replacement arrived only to have the same primer bulb issue. I called the Remington customer service number, and they sent me to a local repair shop that doesn't even service that model. I was a little hot under the collar to say the least. So, I purchased a Husqvqarna while I was there. It started on the first pull, and runs like a champ. For the $40 extra dollars, well worth it.

The box that the blower was shipped in appeared to have been crushed, had been open and taped up. The leaf blower itself was not damaged during shipment. However, the plastic hoses for the blower were of very poor quality and did not fit properly. Had to use duck tape to tape the end on the blower hose on in order to keep it on when in use.

Very easy to assemble and to bring on line. Good balance with controls at very good locations. Easy start and shut down. I would expect I am going to get more than a few years of good service.

Had to return it after 1 use. Did not run well and it was hard to start up. Very disappointed
